Iran to Meet Three Time World Champions in Azadi By Reza Ghazinouri Apr 17, 2004, 12:51

IranSportsPress - Iran will take on the three time world champions, Germany, on October 9 in a friendly game in Azadi Stadium, Tehran. Some of the profits from the game will go to the victims of the Bam earthquake.

A German delegation has been visiting Iran for the last two days and have held talks with the Iranian Federation and its president, Dadkan.

German federation officals and director Bern Pfaff visited Tehran to finalise the game between Germany and Iran who has recently climbed to 17th in the FIFA ranking. Pfaff also stated that the game will be a success not just to raise money but also for the both teams.

There are no news on if Germany will have their best available squad for their visit to Tehran or if Rudi Voller will take the opportunity to use a younger squad.

This game could be an inspiring debut to make for Fereydoon Zandi for the Iranian national team.

The game is scheduled to be played at 20:00 pm local time on October 09.
